There are a number of different
mantis species in Saudi Arabia and when I was birdwatching in Tanoumah with
Phil Roberts we found a different type that we had not seen before. After help
from Mansur Al Fahad and looking on the internet it became obvious the species
was a Fairy Mantis Oxyothepis nilotica.
It was not easy to photograph with the below photos the only good one I got.
